Do you think it is right to say that real scientists don't believe in the Bible?

Question

Though the Bible was not written to teach science, it does contain evidence that have led many scientists to test and examine all things through the works of God. Many earlier scientists were religious leaders. They were outspoken christians. Many modern scientists and intellectuals have turned from a spiritual belief to a secular humanist philosophical approach to the origin of life.

Rene Descartes( Inventor of analytic geometry) (1596-1650)
God is necessary and independent cause of all bodies in the universe.

Descartes acknowledged the personal dependence of every soul on God for immortality.

John Ambrose fleming-Inventor of the Diode(1849-1945) used for radio receivers and transmitters as well as television sets for nealy a half of century.

He formed the "Evolution protest movement" and later wrote a book defending the biblical account of creation.

Answer 1

Many modern car salesmen have become secular humanists too. So what? The majority of scientists, just like the majority of any other cross-section of society, believe in God. And for most of them there are no major conflicts between the truths revealed by science and the truths revealed by scripture. Why would there be? Truth cannot conflict with truth.

The individuals who do run into conflicts, and who build museums dedicated to the idea that they, not the majority of Christians, are right, are those whose baseline belief is that they personally have the power to interpret the Bible infallibly. Since it only those with this egotistical mindset who run into conflicts with scientific facts, it should be apparent that the source of the difficulty is their unrealistic, uninformed, simplistic, litteralist approach to biblical exegesis, not scientific discovery.

We know that in denominational religion, the majority of beliefs are false. We know this because the beliefs of one denomination conflict with the beliefs of other denominations, hundreds of times over, and truth cannot conflict with truth, so conflicting beliefs necessarily means false beliefs. Truth cannot conflict with truth, but scientific facts certainly can be in conflict with faulty, unauthoritative guesses about the meaning of Scripture.

Answer 2

Good points. No, I'm sure that there are many real scientists that believe in the Bible. I went to a private, religious university that has many real scientists--biologists, chemists, engineers, etc., that sincerely believe in the Bible while also being at the top of their field in scientific research. There doesn't have to be any contradiction. It's all truth.

Answer 3

Absolutely wrong. A true scientist has to accept the truth and realize they know nothing, they ONLY discover things, and learn things from open mindedness. Scientists should actually be called discoverers. Wake up dude.

Answer 4

It is now. The National Academy of Science is now 93% atheists. It is not possible to believe in science and stories that include talking snakes and donkeys at the same time.

Answer 5

Yes

"Believers" are often very ignorant of the Bible - if more believers read their bible, there would be fewer believers.The greater their education, the lesser the ignorance. It is not possible to be highly educated and continue to believe in mythology - unless one is mentally ill.

Just as most children reach a point where they can no longer believe in Santa, most adults reach a level of intellectual maturity that is not compatible with continuing to believe in mythology and eventually abandon religion.

Answer 6

No, I don't. Every physics professor I ever had believed firmly in God. I know because I asked them and no, I didn't go to Oral Roberts University.

Answer 7

Most scientists do. They simply believe in evolution as well. There's no contradiction.

Answer 8

no!!!!!!!!
